What do you like best about racing at Charlotte Motor Speedway?

“Charlotte’s always been good for me. We swept both (NASCAR) XFINITY Series races there last year. It was a blast. It’s always fun to race in front of your hometown crowd. A lot of family and friends come out to watch. Victory Lane was crazy with all my family and friends that were there to celebrate with the No. 2 Rheem team. I personally like Charlotte a lot on long green flag runs. It’s a fast-paced track and a lot of fun to drive. Hopefully we can put some steam to her and see what we can do this weekend.” -Austin Dillon
